Here Might Be Why You've Been Sleeping Alone Lately!

I originally saw this here. 9 Things A Man Should Never Tell A Woman » Shoutwire.com  and because I've done too many of them over the years, it seemed worth linking to.   Is that why I was sleeping alone again last night?  A couple below.   Just for laughs.

9 Things A Man Should Never Tell A Woman 





1. “You could stand to lose a little weight.”
This is the number one reason most men get stabbed by their significant others. A woman and her weight are not to be taken lightly, no pun intended. Only a fool will put in his two cents on this subject. It is a good way to ensure that you will never see that pussy again.



2. “Yes, I did kill your cat”
Even if it was an accident, you must lie to the death. If it was on purpose it is a good idea to keep that lie going even after death. If you ever find yourself with a dead cat on your hands, remember these three words; “hide the body”.

Boomers ready for better sex life says new Pfizer survey

Saw this in today's The Winnipeg Free Press Online Edition

Is it just me or why does it look like improving the sexual life of the over 40's will be next big growth industry. And that is because that's what they want. Of course for us in that age group, our friends at Pfizer and the other drug giants, among others, will be there to help us all along the way.

Boomers like idea of sexy adventures, but a bit shy

NOW that everyone from Dustin "Screech" Diamond to Tickle Me Elmo has a sex tape -- the latter video, Tickle Me Harder, debuted on the Net this week -- it's little wonder adult films are increasingly finding their way into baby boomers' bedrooms.

In fact, a nationwide Ipsos-Reid survey released yesterday shows one in five Canadians between 40 and 64 has watched a pornographic movie to enhance their sex life in the last year, while nearly 30 per cent say they'd watch one if invited by their partner. Another seven per cent have read a book or watched a video dedicated to improving sexual technique.

"We kind of desexualize middle-aged people because our culture hyper-sexualizes youth," says Chanelle Gallant, a sex educator and psychotherapist. "So, this is evidence that baby boomers are still doing it -- and doing it creatively."

At Good for Her, a Toronto sex shop she manages, porn sales have tripled in the last year alone. And a "large portion" of buyers are over 40.

"People are much more willing to experiment than their partners realize," says Gallant.

"A lot of guys, for example, are absolutely shocked that women watch porn. Nobody's thinking, when they go to meet their child's teacher or pick up a prescription at the pharmacy, 'She watches porn.' But she just might."

The new survey, which was commissioned by Pfizer, reveals a stark disconnect between what boomers are doing for sexual enhancement and what they're willing to do.

For instance, although just 15 per cent of respondents say they've used sex toys or games, more than one in four (28 per cent) are open to the idea.

"People don't feel sex is as important as it is," says Pepper Schwartz, a professor of sociology at the University of Washington in Seattle. "They see it as the frosting as opposed to the cake -- and it's the cake."

If you have to write it into a prenup, does that mean you know there will be problem right after you get married?

See my earlier post. I've been thinking this for years.

The physical side of a relationship, the intimate lovemaking side, is not given the importance it should have when we consider how to keep a relationship solid. It's got immense power to keep a relationship very healthy or to heal, if a couple is seen by each other to make their partner the most important person in their life. Now we're seeing couples discussing the frequency of lovemaking prior to marriage, and even putting it into prenups. Is just the old saw, that you hear from another guy or lady that the good sex life they had died soon after they said "I do". Hopefully, it reflects an honest discussion between the couple about what is important in their relationships, and what they both want to achieve, and then they reflect that in a written agreement, to give it even more importance.

Heaven forbid, I'd have to say to my lover, that our agreement says that we're falling behind our quota while pointing to the clause in the prenup.

I like the idea of date nights or date days that are almost sacrosant for a couple, to ensure that good things for them and their relationship, do actually occur regularly.

Prenups now have sexual clauses

Stipulations are part of 'designer marriages'


Fri Oct 13 2006


By Misty Harris



AS romantic as "till death do us part" sounds, a new survey of family law attorneys suggests a more accurate vow might be "till sex do us part."

Of the more than 1,600 legal eagles polled by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, fully 15 per have been asked by clients to include provisions for frequency of intercourse in their prenuptial agreements -- more commonly known as marriage contracts in Canada.

Nearly one in three have been ordered to include stipulations for the care of a pet, 12 per cent have had clients request an adultery clause and another 12 per cent have been asked to include provisions for housekeeping.

It's all part of the made-to-order mentality of what you might call "designer marriages." That is, unions tailored the same way one customizes a new car or condo.

Headlines screaming of celebrities' adultery clauses are increasingly common, with cheating spouses losing a significant financial stake -- sometimes millions -- for breaking their vows. Weight provisos are also finding their way into prenups, such as the contract in which a celebrity husband stipulated if his wife's weight went above 120 pounds, it would be punishable by $100,000 in the event of a divorce.

Another star reportedly requested provisions for random drug testing, while an A-lister's wife asked that her husband be fined if rude to her parents.

Michael Cochrane, a Toronto lawyer and author of Surviving Your Divorce, says this sort of celebrity-centric reportage has helped create an entire mythology around prenups.

"Lawyers on the street who are doing these (contracts) for real-life people are generally not seeing those kinds of clauses pushed hard, although people do ask," he says. The challenge is that behavioural provisions are historically very hard, if not impossible, to enforce after a couple exchanges vows.

"Let's say somebody phones up and says: 'My husband's playing too much golf,"' says Cochrane. "And you want us to what? Write him a letter saying he should play less golf or you'll get a divorce? Real life doesn't work like that."

In Canada, he says courts are more likely to enforce clauses governing moral or religious judgment, such as whether or not the children will be given corporal punishment, the type of education they receive, and whether or not they receive blood transfusions in the event of an accident.
